Hey dp,

There is an interesting departure from the old aircraft 'round engines' like those in the AT-6s and T-28s I've flown. The connecting rods all terminate in a concentric connecting block that transfers the reciprocating forces to the automotive style crankshaft. Many round engines have a master piston & rod driving the crankshaft that all the other pistons and connecting rods are attached to. Either way back-&-forth is converted to round-&-round; much smoother in CYPW's case obviously.

The cyclone power system can apparently run on any practical fuel that burns, or other waste source gases that are suitably hot. When scaled up its certainly a candidate for Combined Heat & Power (CHP) operations where gas-turbine generator exhaust is directed to combined-cycle boilers for powering steam turbines, or where gas-turbine generator exhaust gas is currently just wasted to atmosphere. Syngas or waste heat off of large scale gasifiers would be good resources, also.

If they are successful at moving forward, my guess in that the Grid-grade CHP and heat recovery market is where they are ultimately aiming, vs. the small generator, lawwnmower, weedeater, etc., shown on the website.

John :-)
